Accoding to the Hib Halverson Suspension chart...YES, stock FEI for 86 was 26 mm

Why not upgrade to 30 mm in front and 24 mm rear

Makes a big difference without screwing up the ride comfort. I just did it on my 88 and love it!

See jeff kopp at http://www.superiorchevyperformance.com for great prices and service

:cheers: Sorry, didn't mean to get too technical! As to what FEI stands for, technically speaking, I have no idea! :blueangel: Other than it is the base, stock suspension for all of 86! :D

Go with 26mm, you'll be fine :D
